Best Type Of Training When On A Cycle.....High Volume or High Weight???

Since im about to take a cycle I was wondering which type of workout regiem is better, one with high volume or one with heavy weight low rep???? I am asking this becuase bodybuilders do high volume due to them being on steriods so I was wondering would this translate over if I were to do a cycle......

I want some opinions because I want to grow as much as possible during my first cycle.......

I think you'll see best gains with high reps if your goal is size rather than strength, something within the 8-12 rep range, 12-15 for arms. I personally saw great results with higher reps in arm exercises.

what works best for me is going low rep heavyweight if im trying to bulk and gain strength. i like to set my failure at about the 6th rep. if im looking to add some more definition and lean out i go with a lighter weight higher rep, somewhere in between 12-15 to failure. i do this regaurdless if im on cycle or not.

My response wasnt ment to come off like an A-hole. I wasnt sure what your goal was so I had no way to point you in any direction. Anyway my experience is that lower reps and heavier weight will put on more strength not necessarily bulk. Higher reps less weight more definition. I think a good in between is the best answer for overall size/definition. I found my best results are w/ reps of 10. This has also been a great way for me to add size. For arms I like to do a concentration type exercise for reps of 10 then throw in other exercises w/ higher reps of like 12-15.

On my last Superdrol cycle my sets usually consisted of 6-8 reps. I usually shoot for 8 per set, but I don't like to fall below 6. And if for some reason I can do more than 8, I will, although I usually know how much weight I can do, so I usually reach positive failure within that range. Now on something like calve raises or wrist curls I'll aim for 15-20, going slow.

Worked for me. I put on a good 7-8lbs and my strength went through the roof.

And for the record, I care about strength and size, rather than just size.

I tend to stay away from heavier lifts (1-6 rep ranges) because I feel that the increase in strength may be too much for the tendons and would dramatically increase the risk of injury. And believe me a rotator cuff injury for example is NO fun.
